Twenty years of us

13/10/202013/10/2020
(l) Me and my husband when we first got together; (r) me and my husband at my sister's wedding last month

It’s twenty years today since I headed out of my student house to go to karaoke night in the union bar, turning around to my housemate as I left with the words “It’s great being single. I’m going to stay single for a long time!” Famous last words. Five hours later, I returned with a… Read More

Musings on ten years of marriage

11/07/201910/07/2019
Me and my hubby on our wedding day with confetti being thrown at us

It’s ten years today since I married my wonderful husband. It’s funny, it doesn’t seem possible that it can be ten years already and yet in many ways it feels like we’ve been married longer than that too. Our journey through married life has been quite different to how I imagined it might be. We’ve… Read More

A drawing of me and hubby having a cuddle

Today is our 8th wedding anniversary. Like all married couples we have had our ups and downs over the years. There have been many moments when I have focused on the things that my husband does wrong rather than the things he does right. There are moments when he drives me crazy. We have times… Read More

Sometimes I look at you…

23/08/201610/07/2018
Me and hubby looking at each other

Sometimes I look at you and I don’t see you. I see the dishes left on the kitchen counter instead of being put in the dishwasher. I see the DIY jobs that you keep telling me you’ll do “at some point”. I see the piles of laundry, the messy house, the unfinished jobs.   I… Read More

What I love most about my husband

02/02/201630/01/2016

This is a man who isn’t perfect, not by any stretch of the imagination, but this is a man who always tries. Sometimes he passes through the house like a whirlwind, leaving a mini trail of destruction in his wake. Sometimes he says the wrong thing, although he never intends to hurt. He makes mistakes,… Read More

Me and You: Why quality time as a couple is so important

25/11/201530/11/2015

After the busyness of the last couple of months and the feeling of being like passing ships, November has been all about spending time together as a couple, reminiscing and remembering the little things we love about each other. November is a good month for reminiscing as Armistice Day was the anniversary of our engagement… Read More
